    "PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: River floodplains are integrative ecosystems in which diverse processes operate together to maintain river health. Floodplains are as critical to river health as the channel itself, yet floodplains lack the legal protections afforded to river channels in many countries.
    KEY POINTS
    • A river floodplain is an integrative physical, chemical, biological system and a key component of a river corridor
    • Contemporary societal perceptions and regulatory frameworks do not reflect this scientific consensus...”

  2. Just added to our Publications library (bit.ly/CZNBDPubLibrary).

    This chapter in 2023's Ecohydrological Interfaces describes the seamless continuum of hydrological and #biogeochemical conditions in #riparian zones which blur the line between #groundwater, the hyporheic zone, and surface stream water.

    This integration is crucial for the ecological integrity of water bodies, affecting everything from water temperature to #biodiversity.
